“Diality’s mission of improving lives impacted by kidney disease resonates very strongly with me and is one of the many reasons I am excited to help develop the Moda-flx Hemodialysis System,” Parthasarathy stated. “Dialysis patients deserve more innovation to improve their quality of life and the quality of their care.”
